Rimons Twitter Widget 0.5 released

Couple of months ago, I just made this plugin as a test and listed to wordpress.org, it is a very simple concept, basically, it is a widget plugin. after activating the plugin, you’ll get a widget at wp-admin-> appearance -> widgets which grab tweets from your twitter account. I know theres a lot of plugins like that.. but important thing if this plugin is, it’s css style is fully customizable.

When people use these kind of social media widget, they need to adjust its color scheme to their theme. Rimons Twitter Widget plugin is just focused on that. users can customize the widget’s skin according to their theme.

menus are plain and simple.. this is the back end look:

And this is the front look at default color scheme and options, actually, this screenshot is not needed, you can see that I am using this at my sidebar 😉

Hello Rimanon. I just modified the code a little bit for transparent “Container Background” and “Tweets Background”. In function form I give back ‘none’ as default value in this two cases. Maybe you want to include it.

Hi Rimon – LOVE ths plugin – so customizable. However, after the upgrade the other day, my container disappeared. Shorly after, the tweets disappeared. Then, they reappeared later in the day and have now disappeared again and it would seem for good. I’m using Thesis. Any known issues with Thesis? Any quick fixes? Thank you.

I tried the plugin today and it’s working once again. If it disappears before you have a chance to see it, the placement is in the sidebar, below Coming Soon. Not sure why it keeps glitching out on me. Also, the container won’t show up for some reason though I have it specified as a color.

Thanks – the tweets have always been public, so that’s not the issue. I also just double checked to make sure.

After the update the other day, the widget disappeared enirely. So, I went into the widget settings, reset everything, and the tweets showed up – but no container. The container has been missing since.

Also, every once in a while the entire feed disappears and all that you can see is a faint outline of the twitter bird icon and the title which I’ve called “the DIALOGUE.” It wouldn’t load yesterday morning and then suddenly appeared in the afternoon. This morning, it was gone again, and returned this afternoon. I’m beginning to think the bird is actually a night owl and doesn’t like mornings!

Installed this and it was working great. Then suddenly it stopped displaying all text except for “join the conversation.” The little bird is also still there, colors still there, dimensions, just all text is gone.

LOVE your widget, but having a problem with it displaying correctly in firefox. Chrome and IE display perfectly, but if you view http://www.hushpuppyhaven.org in Firefox, it floats outside of the sidebar container. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Rimon, excellent plugin – easily the most accessible Twitter widget I’ve used. Was just wondering if there was a way to remove the margin padding? Regardless of the width I configure, there’s always a large border to the top and left of the widget (I suspect 10px each way). My other widgets have 5px of space, so it looks a little out of place. Any advice? Cheers!

I am working on updating our website and would like to use your plug-in. I currently have everything on a test system (http://nametest.weserver.org/affinity/) and can not get the header correct. The h4 header with the twitter username is offset where it appears below and to the left of the gravatar. Can you help explain why it is appearing like this?

I think your app is great. Customisation is the key, and the ease of use is even better.
I worry the app will stop working next year when twitter cancels RSS feed support. I hope I’m wrong!
I don’t know enough about programming to guess.
Will this app stop working then?

Hello,
Can I use multiple widgets on the same page? For instance, If I want to group 30-40 Rimon Twitter widgets on the same page to sort of aggregate a certain twitter topic, will this cause a crash? Will it try to “pull too much information” from twitter so I get an error. Too many requests in a given time frame?

Hi.
Wonderful plugin.
One question, is this the url of the css that the widget is using?http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.css
how can i override this, editing my sites stylesheet does nothing to the widget itself.

Great plugin. I was looking for this, since Twitter’s own widget that looked like that seems to not be available anymore….
But I was wondering if there’s any way to remove the whole bottom part, including the Twitter logo and not just the “join the conversation” link.
Also, the font size feature isn’t working. It doesn’t matter which value I enter (5, 12, 10px, 11pt, or whatever), it always shows the same size, which’s way bigger than the rest of the fonts on my theme… =/
And I was wondering a few things: if the height could be set to auto, to adjust to the number of tweets displayed without having to scroll or to have an empty space bellow the last one, and where I could change the language (as in “x days ago · reply · retweet · favorite” below each tweet), so it could be displayed in my own language.
And one last thing: is there any plans to add a feature where’d be possible to display multiple Twitter users?
Thanks!
